MCS-COF

Advanced Multi-Criteria

Fire/CO Detector

SIGNALING

S1195 7275-1703:0175

Description

The Advanced Multi-Criteria Fire/CO Detector (MCS-

COF) is an addressable device that provides both fire

and carbon monoxide (CO) detection. For fire detec-

tion, the detector combines the following four sepa-

rate sensing elements in one unit.

•

Smoke

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Light/flame

•

Heat

These elements sense multiple components of a fire.

This approach enables an enhanced sensitivity to

real fire with a heightened immunity to nuisance par-

ticulate. For CO, the detector’s electrochemical sens-

ing cell creates a separate signal for life safety CO

detection.

Released through the incomplete burning of various

fuels, CO is a colorless, odorless and deadly gas that

is virtually impossible to detect with the human

senses. Because the potential exists for dangerous

levels of CO to accumulate in almost any building,

legislation mandates the use of CO detection in com-

mercial spaces in the U.S. The MCS-COF is Listed to

safety carbon monoxide monitoring.

It is designed to be used with the Gamewell-FCI, E3

Series or S3 Series fire alarm control panel only. The

MCS-COF should be used in conjunction with the

B200S intelligent sounder base, which can generate

either of the following patterns:

• Temp 3 pattern for fire.

• Temp 4 pattern for CO alarm indication.

•

The B200S recognizes the System Sensor synchro-

nization protocol. This feature enables it to be used

as a component of the general evacuation signal,

along with other System Sensor horns, horn strobes,

and chimes, when the MCS-COF is connected to a

power supply or Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

output that is capable of generating the System Sen-

sor synchronization pulses. With each sounder base

carrying a unique address, the FACP can then com-

mand an individual sounder, or a group of sounders,

to activate. The command set from the panel can be

tailored to the specific event, allowing selection of

volume, tone, and group. For more information on

the B200S, refer to Data Sheet P/N: 9021-60671.
